GF Steel Defense

edited May 2014 in Bug Reports (PC)
I am not sure if this is a bug or if other classes have abilities to ignore Steel Defense. It is supposed to give a 3 seconds of invulnerability (to damage). However, in PvP do I occasionally get killed just after I activated a Daily with Steel Defense enabled.

The action point pool shows as empty and the sound of the Daily gets played. Therefore do I assume the Daily power got successfully triggered. But sometimes do players kill me in the middle of the animation, which means there was no 3 seconds invulnerability.

Seems the most notable class who kills me is the Trickster. Is this a bug or has the Trickster powers to ignore Steel Defense?
Stay frosty.

    Steel Defense has been reported to not been acting right back when this update was on preview. Seems they didnt do anything about it.

    Shocking Execution ignores all defense and can't be dodged.

    "Steel Defense" is only the name. It is a skill and it is connected to daily powers. Shocking Execution may ignore all defense, but the skill Steel Defense should set all incoming damage to 0 for 3s-5s. In case of Shocking Execution should this result in 0 damage being dealt against a Guardian with 0 defense. It would still result in 0 damage for the duration.

    I have also seen it with the Hunter Ranger now.

    I personally dont use steel defense. But it should. Thats effectively how thier shield works, and Shocking Execution doesnt go through Gf's shield.

    I can confirm it seems like steel defense doesnt work at all. Not just pvp either, in pve doing heroic encounters, I get destroyed thinking im "immune" to damage for 5 seconds. I tested on some polar bears and steel defense works alright. I tested against normal barbarian raiders and everything seemed fine. But when i fought against barbarian raiders and bear riders in a heroic encounter, they were able to penetrate the damage immunity of steel defense with black ice damage from "black ice corruption" and another portion of their attacks would get through as well somehow. I do not have the patience to get log data from pvp but I also experienced damage that ignored the damage immunity of steel defense right after I activated it. Im not saying all damage got through, but some amount penetrated that should not. also, personally but this may not be true, it feels like steel defense with 3 points in it is a second short on its duration.
